So Blessed!

This was a fantastically busy week where I got no errands done because we had fun kid stuff going...and with a new baby in the house, I only like to completely blow up her schedule so many times in a day.  But as busy and crazy as it was, there were some purely wonderful moments too.  I'm really proud of our kids and the good people they are!

Sam got us laughing out loud the other night when he came down like this.  He cut out the baby head from a diaper box.  His creative and silly side just cracks me up :)

We tried Nora's tummy time with siblings and a show on Roy's phone one night.  It took some effort, but she also ended up rolling over that night.  In the background, you can see the diaper box that Sam used for his baby face above.

This was Teacher Appreciation Week and I volunteered to pick up the 36 balloons from the store for the non-teaching staff at school.  It was hilarious to try to wrangle the balloons into the trunk on a day with some wind gusts.  Yet another time I wish I were an octopus.  But the good news is that we only lost one balloon that day.  I'd call that a win!

The kids and I made candy grams for their classroom teachers and the teachers who teach their Specials classes.  I think they turned out really cute and Abby and Sam were especially excited to be able to use the hot glue gun and organize the candy and words their own way.

The kids had their Fun Run at school this week so we went to cheer them on.  It was a warm morning, but these kids were motivated and each did more than the 35 laps that they were challenged to get.  I didn't get a picture of Sam in his Fun Run shirt, but did catch him after he'd changed (into an inside-out shirt :)

Abby's class earned Crazy Hair Day and Crazy Sock Day and decided to celebrate both on the day of the Fun Run.  Abby decided that in order to truly combine them, she should put crazy socks in her hair :)  All year, she has worn crazy socks every day.  She always wears mismatched socks and prefers them to be knee-highs.  It's her thing and she loves it.  

Look at this sweet Nora Grace!  She's the best baby and such a blessing!
